 FMIC Opinions/recomendations appreciated I have a 99 GSX with a MHI Big 16G, EVOIII exhaust manifold and O2 housing, RRE downpipe, high flow cat, Espelier exhaust, 1G BOV, RRE Upper IC pipe, zeitronix wideband, and dsmlink.
I am overwhelming my stock side-mount especially in the SO. Cal summer heat. I am working on a budget so as much as I would love to get a Greddy, ETS, or some other kit I just don't have the funds right now.
I am thinking of getting an IC from ebay.
I figure I can use mandrel bent pieces from road race and piece together some long route piping for a pretty good price.
I was planning on using 2.25" piping as my j-pipe, L-pipe, and upper IC pipe are already 2.25".
Any input is appreciated, I have never dealt with an FMIC before.

This is the core that I have on my car and I have had no problems.
Go to www.siliconeintakes.com for the couplers and tbolt clamps that you will need. They have better prices than RRE even with shipping.

Thanks guys, I think I might just get that one off of E-bay Joe. I still am trying to find a way to keep my fog-lights.
Does anyone on here hace the SSAC style FMIC and if you do what are your impressions of how hard jit would be to modify the mounting to aloow me to keep my fog lights.

I have the ssac frountmount and I am installing it this weekend, the only problem that I can see is that you have to cut the jpipe for the lower intercooler pipe to fit. Or you can just get a slim fan. But I would recommend this kit because its cheaper than any other one. Just email xspower.com because ssac email sucks.
